Description

New rear seat to trunk steel divider for your Mercury Cougar. We had this one made specifically for the Mercury Cougar and it is designed to replace the flimsy tar based cardboard factory divider.

We have noticed that after 40 plus years of chassis flex, the welds on the cross braces behind the rear seat tend to be broken. When installed properly behind the rear seat, this 18 gauge steel divider will provide stiffness to the chassis. This divider can be bonded, screwed or welded into your car and will also provide insulation from sound and temperature that seeps in from the trunk.

I was impressed with the quality of the divider. No sharp edges, good fit and finish, oiled to prevent rust.
the shipping cost almost prevented me from buying it, however a friend made shipping a Birthday present.

Perfect fit

Easy install and perfect fit for my 69 coupe. I painted mine with some rattle cans and used self tapping screws to secure in place. No issues. Quick and easy. No sharp edges or other challenges.

Great improvement. Adds structural rigidity

This panel seals off the trunk compartment nicely and adds structural rigidity if you permanently attach it through welds or structual adhesive. The panel will need some trimming because these cars were never built perfect or straight. Make sure you metal prep, prime, and paint both sides before you install it. I used 3M Structural Adhesive to bond the panel in place with screws holding it while the adhesive cured. Make sure you do not apply primer or paint where you are gluing or welding. Nice product!!!

Divider-Rear Seat to Trunk-Coupe-METAL-New-69 to 70 Merc Cougar

Although I welded the broken X-brace behind the seat in my 69 Cougar, I still installed one of these. It's made from heavy gauge metal and really helped strengthen that area after install. It did require a small bit of grinding around the upper rear seat hooks, but fit well overall. The additional sound-deadening will make for a much quieter interior as well.

The cardboard divider in my 1970 Convertible is in need of replacement, but I can't find that item. Does WCCC have a solution?

What you're looking for is called a well liner. https://secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/advanced_search?cart_products%5Bquery%5D=%2211671%22%20%2234299%22

How is this installed, do you keep the braces to.

No need to remove the braces. Just remove the rear seat, then this divider can be bonded, screwed or welded into your car. Then reinstall the rear seat.

Does this install from the cabin side (under the rear seat) or the trunk side?

Behind the rear seat. Don actually mentions it at about 11:59 in the video above.

Will this panel work on a 69XR-7 convertible?

No, this will not work and is not needed on the convertible because the Cougar convertible had a plate installed from the factory.

Will this trunk divider install in a 70 Mustang coupe? Would there be much additional trimming?

These are custom cut to fit the Cougar. We have never tried them in a Mustang, but we know the Cougar and Mustang are different.
